Bug 280470 – Please stabilize =dev-libs/libxml-1.8.17-r3

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Víctor Ostorga (RETIRED) 2009-08-05 15:46:45 UTC]

Hi arches, please do your magic with =dev-libs/libxml-1.8.17-r3 alpha amd64 arm hppa ia64 mips ppc ppc64 sh sparc x86

In the mips case due to libxml depending on >=sys-libs/ncurses-5.2 which is not stable, feel free to leave it ~arch

The stabilization is necessary to allow it compile with newer glibc, gcc and other fixes.

Removing mips since they don't do stable keywords anymore

AMD64-build.log

AMD64 will not keyword at this time, the software failed to compile. Build log attached.

Please run revdep-rebuild and perhaps lafilefixer. If the problem persists, file a new bug report instead of abusing this one for an unrelated issue.

And probably entirely redundantly: When you do file that bug report, make it block this one.



Stable for HPPA.

[Comment 7 Christian Faulhammer (RETIRED) 2009-08-13 16:02:57 UTC]

Hold your horses!  There seems to be a security bug open so a newer libxml has to be shipped anyway.

[Comment 8 Víctor Ostorga (RETIRED) 2009-08-13 16:26:18 UTC]

Are you talking about dev-libs/libxml2 ?
If so, remember that many packages has DEPEND and RDEPEND on dev-libs/libxml

[Comment 9 Christian Faulhammer (RETIRED) 2009-08-13 16:57:37 UTC]

No, see bug 280617

That's a different package in the tree. However I'm not sure what the history is behind libxml and libxml2, and if there is any potential for libxml to have libxml2 security bugs if the latter is an evolution of the former.

[Comment 11 Mart Raudsepp 2009-08-14 02:53:55 UTC]

Whoops, spoke before checking the libxml2 security/stabilization bug. I believe we should track libxml security stabilization in a separate bug from 280617 - probably right this one here reshuffled (retitled with the CVE numbers -r4 fixes, assigned to security@, etc)

[Comment 12 Tobias Klausmann (RETIRED) 2009-08-29 10:27:02 UTC]

Stable on alpha.

[Comment 13 Brent Baude (RETIRED) 2009-08-31 18:09:59 UTC]
